Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2005If I may
Hi guys, Could I ask for purrs for Bob? Yesterday we had to take Bob Marley (ferrett) to the emergency vet. He had lots of blood in his urine. It turned out to be a bladder infection. The vet gave him amoxicillin for the infection. My little baby is just miserable and everytime he wets he hollars. I feel so bad for him.

For human UTIs, they are able to give you medicine that makes it hurt less -- although iirc it did turn my urine bright, koolaid orange. I wonder if they could do anything like that for Bob's bladder infection? Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca I did not think of that Monique. Thanks for the suggestion. I will call and find out. I'll tell you trying to get him to drink water is like pulling teeth. I did buy him a fountain so hopefully that will help some if I can get Harvey to stop washing his paws with it. Skritches, KittyLady > I did not think of that Monique. Thanks for the suggestion.

How about giving him some cranberry juice? I hear > it's good for URI issues. UTI. Yes, I do think that cranberry juice helps with that, but it's intended to prevent them by cleaning out the bacteria. I don't think it will help with the pain while he recovers from his current one.

The problem is probably that you are feeding him dry kibble and he isn't getting enough moisture. It would help if you could feed him meat a couple of times a week or more. Roadkill birds are good (throw them in complete with feathers) or dead day old chicks that can be bought frozen to feed snakes on. Tweed Purrs and gentle headbutts on the way for Bob.

Shouldn't that be a human can't OD on it? There's a big difference in size between a person, and a ferret. Poor thing :-( Dooks from my ferrets and purrs from the cats for him.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Skritches, > KittyLady > Hi guys, > Could I ask for purrs for Bob? [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Skritches, > KittyLady A thought just occurred -- don't know if there is an animal equivalent of this but there is a human medication that helps greatly with relieving the pain while you're waiting for the antibiotic to take hold -- I just looked it up it is called pyridium, it's an analgesic. I remember it vividly because I had to use it after getting a bladder infection following giving birth -- it turns your pee bright orange. Don't know but it might be worth asking your vet. hth, Christine > Hi guys, > Could I ask for purrs for Bob? [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Skritches, > KittyLady Purrs for Bob Marley on the way. Hope he'll understand what they're for. Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe > Hi guys, > Could I ask for purrs for Bob? [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Skritches, > KittyLady Awwww... purrs for little Bob to feel better fast! Jill Thanks for all of the purrs for Bob guys. I think he feels a bit better today. He still whines some when he wets but he is going all at one time now instead of dribbling. To answer Tweeds post about giving him some road kill, I tried to give him so fresh chicken when our neighbor was doing their slaughter (sorry Tweed, I don't know what else to call it) but he would not eat it. The only think he will eat is O/E dry food. I wish he would eat the meat because I know he needs more water. He is drinking out of the fountain some but it seems that him and Harvey would rather play in it. Skritches, KittyLady I hope Bob soon feels his old self, KittyLady. Sounds like this isn't fun for any of you! Melissa > Thanks for all of the purrs for Bob guys. I think he feels a bit better > today. He still whines some when he wets but he is going all at one [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Skritches, > KittyLady Purring for Bob. I don't know if I would feed him roadkill birds (since I hear some birds have mites and stuff in their feathers--I have to buy craft feathers since I do not have the supplies to properly clean feathers found in the wild). The chicks for snakes sounds like a good idea though. Maybe he would like those. --Fil > Hi guys, > Could I ask for purrs for Bob?
